I think this might be the quickest recipe I’ve shared to date - perfect for a quick lunch or light fresh dinner in summer. It only takes as long as the pasta takes to cook.

Love cooking food that I can share with friends. Never happier than when I’ve got people over for dinner enjoying great food (and great wine of course). I’m a big fan of seasonal ingredients and coming up with quick and fresh ideas for during the busy working week.
